AirPrint

Apple's printing protocol

AirPrint is Apple's wireless printing technology, allowing users to print directly from iPhones, iPads, and Macs to compatible printers without installing drivers or software.

The printer must be on the same Wi-Fi network: Just select AirPrint and it finds the printer automatically.

Most modern printers support AirPrint natively.
